答案：1．C;2．D;3．B;4．D;5．A;6．B;7．C;8．C;9．B;10．A;11．B;12．D;13．A;
解析：

(1)

根據(jù)上文all signs pointed to success和yet可知情況發(fā)生了變化，不是朝向成功的方向，而是令人失望，故選C。

(2)

因為情況是令人失望的，可知Joe的成績在班里是排在最后，故選擇bottom, at the bottom of意為：在…的底部。

(3)

本句Joe struggled day and night說明他很努力，后面的but提示雖然努力了，但是沒有見效，故選B。

(4)

本句中表達的是數(shù)學老師解釋概念的時候發(fā)生的事情，故用as引導時間狀語從句。

(5)

根據(jù)the thunder won the battle for their attention可知雷聲吸引了學生的注意力，也就是學生們不能集中注意力，故選A。

(6)

上句說到學生不能把注意力集中在老師講的內(nèi)容上，所以沒有人能夠掌握那些概念，故選B。

(7)

根據(jù)生活常識和上下文判斷。上句提到只有Joe能正確回答這些問題，所以老師拍拍他的背，讓他向同學解釋他是怎樣做到的，本句中說的是Joe受到鼓勵，在教室來回穿梭，故選C。

(8)

下句中all children drew pictures可知數(shù)學課之后是美術(shù)課，故選C。

(9)

下一段話中the picture of a bright yellow sun及except for Joe可知別的孩子畫的都是暗淡顏色的畫，只有Joe的畫是明亮的，故選B。

(10)

本文講訴Joe的轉(zhuǎn)變過程，前面提到的是Joe的成績是disappointing，而這里在講他的開始轉(zhuǎn)變，開始提高，故選A。

(11)

本題的關(guān)鍵是空格后的連詞and和curious，根據(jù)and可知要填的詞和后文的curious同一概念的詞，故選amazed，又吃驚又好奇，故選B。

(12)

這幅畫充滿金色的陽光，對于Joe來講是十分珍貴的，因此它改變了Joe的學習軌跡，故選D。

(13)

上文講到這幅畫是Joe的珍藏，那么可知在圖畫上他所寫的字是：這是我見到光明的日子。故選A。

請同學們閱讀下面兩篇“未解之謎”，完成閱讀任務，并談一談自己的觀點

Is there a monster in the water？

　　Does an ancient monster live in Scotland’s Loch Ness(尼斯湖)?For centuries, many people have argued that “Nessie”, the Loch Ness Monster, does exist．On July 22, 1933, Mr．a(chǎn)nd Mrs．George Spicer were driving alongside the lake．All of a sudden, their car nearly struck a huge, black, long-necked creature, which then entered the lake．This was the first time Nessie was brought to public attention．

　　To date there have been over 3000 recorded sightings of the monster but no one has come up with any solid evidence that it does exist．

　　Scientists are still using high-tech equipment to search the lake and thousands of people visit the area each year in the hope of seeing the monster．And some believe they have got lucky：there are new sightings of Nessie every year．

　　Stonehenge, the most famous prehistoric monument in Britain, is situated on Salisbury Plain in the county of Wiltshire．At various times regarded as a site built by the Druids, the Romans, the Danes and even the French, the first stage－a circular ditch and bank with an entrance flanked by a pair of small standing stones－is believed to have been built around 3000 BC．The site was subsequently(隨后)abandoned and rebuilt between 2100 BC and 1800 BC．

　　There are many mysteries surrounding this ancient site．Some of the stones used are thought to have come from the Preseli mountains in Pembrokeshire, Wales－yet exactly how they were transported to the site in such a primitive(原始的)age is a puzzle．Experts believe they may have been transported for most of the way by water, before being dragged overland for the last stage of the journey．

　　It has been suggested that Stonehenge once operated as a massive astronomical clock, and there are even suggestions that it was a landing site for UFOs(Unidentified Flying Objects)! A more likely explanation is that Stonehenge was an important centre of worship connected with the sun．
